A contact sheet showing black and white film negatives of a church, cemetery, and surrounding landscape. Various perspectives are captured, some at ground level. The images depict the church, gravestones, hills, trees, and the sky. The photographs have a straight documentary style with a grayscale color palette and clear details in light and shadow areas. The frames visually explore the environment without decorative brush techniques.
